This epic Vancouver-themed celeb Twitter thread is EVERYTHING

Celebs: They're just like us. They go on social media in search of input from friends and strangers on what to do when they travel to a new city. You know, get some restaurant recommendations, network with peers, find out what's worth checking out.

This week, actor Ben Schwartz - perhaps best known as having played Jean-Ralphio Saperstein on TV's Parks and Recreation - turned to Twitter to put out the call for intel on Vancouver.

The results were AWESOME, drawing out everyone from actor and Vancouver native Ryan Reynolds to star chef David Hawksworth to even the Gastown Steam Clock (the latter throwing down some killer shade).

Actor Ike Barinholtz swoops in with a rec for "Any place where @ChefHawksworth is cooking." And guess who chimes in? The chef himself. "Ben, let’s hang and eat. How long are you in town?"

And then there are hundreds of offers from regular folk (among them some top Vancouver foodies with excellent tips). Schwartz could easily spend a year here hitting up Tacofino, St. Lawrence, Minami, Phnom Penh, Nook, Shameful Tiki Room, TransAm, Small Victory, Kobe, Ramen Danbo, DownLow Chicken Shack, Joe Fortes - the list goes on. Truly, it goes on and on.

Then, when it comes to exploring Vancouver, he can bike the seawall, check out the Museum of Anthropology, catch shows at The Rio Theatre, chill at Kits Beach, doing the Grouse Grind, roaming the Richmond Night Market, or even play video games in someone's living room. There are even tips for spending a day in New West, and some very specific show dates and who he should meet up with. And, yes, an outdoor basketball court.
